I'm eating Goldfish crackers right now. They are a comfort food for me but my therapist says me eating them is just creepy behavior. I'm eating the whole grain ones which don't leave a mess on your fingers and have a more subtle cheddar taste then the regular cheddar ones.

I'm at the point where I am a bit concerned about going IP because my anxiety is so bad since I don't have that 3rd valium and the ativan made me feel weird. So I'm just allowing myself a cheat day. But not of just junk food. I just had some peanut butter now. Maybe I'll make some soup in a bit.
Hi Mountaindewed. Some research results indicate that too much soda can possibly affect the kidneys. See How Soda Affects Your Kidneys | Prevention Another is at Sugary Soda Habit May Harm Kidneys, Study Suggests – WebMD
